South Korean FA Chief Wants Korea Derby In Pyongyang

There is doubt whether the game in fourth and final round of qualification will be held in the North Korean capital.  

On March 26 this year, the two nations were scheduled to meet in Pyongyang in the previous round of qualification but FIFA moved the March 26 match from the North Korean capital to Shanghai after a row over the playing of anthems and the flying of flags.  

South and North Korea are technically still at war.  

“I hope it will not be the same as last time and I hope that we can play the game in Pyongyang,” Chung, who is also one of FIFA’s vice-presidents, said in Seoul.

“In Seoul we flew North Korea’s flag and played their national anthem. This is FIFA’s rule and I hope that North Korea can do the same.”
